Yep, i dont know what they were doing but after that one big year they should have leaned on him more. He basically split carries with stewart for a while. Im not sure what he has left, but he will definitely be helpful early on.

He was better on inside than outside last season, but he would definitely be an upgrade for the Steelers.

I'm just happy that he's only the second highest paid player in the NFL. That way they can definitely fill all the other holes on the roster.

Opens up a little over a million in cap space for this season, but I look forward to seeing how the Steelers restructure this deal in 2 years to kick the cap hit further down the road.

It beats the alternative of having lots of cap room and a gaping hole at QB.

Right. The main issue with the team was their reluctance to part with pieces back around like 2010 and 2011. It was like they finally discovered cap circumvention and completely forgot why it was a good thing for them to limit that practice in the past.

The problem is how to deal with major depth issues and replace pieces on defense.

It'd be really nice to have the $8.58 million in cap space that Lamarr Woodley will be taking up this season. Six percent of the cap going to that slug really sucks.

Had Arizona not signed him, I was hoping the Steelers would bring him back just for the humor of paying him the league minimum while he counted for $8.5M in dead money. Alas.

Not surprising but the Steelers were 4th in failed completion percentage by their offense. Shows what the stat nerds know- Todd Haley regards every 1 yard pass as a victory.

Incompetent? No. But he loves his sideways passes.
